I know what you mean... But their must have happened events in Ash his past that resulted in the same results. Or their is a soft reset and these things happened in an others way or the story is still continuing.You see, this is why this series has a continuity problem. We’re so desperate to get any sort of factual reference to the past in a series that’s meant to do just this that we start leaping in joy whenever the writers throw us some tiny bones like these that nobody would ever look twice upon in the first four seasons.
Not attacking anyone in particular, but people pointing these hints as the sacred continuity everyone’s begging for seem to only be in denial.
I have been watching this series since the very beginning. People who now want to have Ash use his reserves more... We were in shock back in the days Ash asked Prof. Oak to send his Krabby over. We were in shock Ash out of nowhere used Muk in the League and he called it out in that one episode in the Orange Islands. Ash was barely using it's reserves even back then. I think Jotho was the place Ash finally swapped some Pokémon regulary for one or to episodes in specific competitions. I also enjoyed the Battle frontier and Sinnoh League because Ash used his old Pokémon that much.
I do miss the days Ash called Oak and we saw one or more of Ash's Pokémon in the background. I hope we will see them again in this series, but in most of the series Ash Pokémon at Oak's lab were cameo characters exept for some periode of time. And the same can be said about his former travelling partners. Once they league the group they are cameo characters or return for a short time.
I still hope Ash will run into some of his friends this series (isn't the 25th anniversary while this series runs?) and he'll use some of bus ook Pokémon (heck, I still hope to see Pokémon like Butterfree and Primeape again). But we'll have to fait and see. Maybe their will be more continuity shown someday.
